Chapter 119: Fryer
On the second day of the game with the Spurs, Chen Shu got up early and contacted Xu Xiao, after all, he had promised before, and he would ask Xu Xiao to come out when he returned to Phoenix, but when he learned the news that the other party was going to class during the day today, Chen Shu was relieved... Wait, what's going on ... The reason why Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief was that he could go to practice during the day today, and I have to say that he deserves to be such a straight man single! In Chen Shu's heart, he actually practiced more than accompanying his girlfriend, although he is not a girlfriend yet.
Just when Chen Shu was running to practice, the Internet exploded again, but Chen Shu deliberately did not pay attention to the movements of the media, and it is understandable to think about it, although he doesn't care much about the criticism of these media, but as long as his brain is normal, no one wants to keep reading those articles that spray him, so he simply can't see it out of his mind and is not upset, and he can practice with peace of mind!
However, what Chen Shu didn't expect was that this time the pot was fried more violently than before. The reason is that last night, Chen Shu opened Sina Weibo, and posted a status calling on fans to participate in the all-star voting, coupled with the help of Sina's official Weibo publicity, this morning, Chen Shu's Weibo fans have risen to 1.2 million, the number is still growing wildly, and it may exceed 2 million today!
Of course, this is not a big wave in the American media, because they do not pay attention to Chen Shu's influence in China at all. But when the media and fans in the United States discovered that Chen Shu's All-Star vote was rising violently, and the current number of votes has risen from more than 400,000 to 850,000 in one day. This is something they can't accept, and the fans can't accept it because there are still a few days left for the All-Star vote, and if this continues, their idol Paul is likely to be squeezed out of the All-Star starting by this Chinese. Because although Paul's votes have risen from 940,000 votes to 1.01 million votes thanks to their efforts, each person can only vote once, and Paul's votes have little room to rise, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will be surpassed by Chen Shu.
As for the media can't accept it, it's nothing more than the racial superiority in their hearts, before Yao Ming squeezed out O'Neal's starter, many media wrote articles criticizing Yao Ming for not having the strength and not being worthy of an all-star starter, and lashed out at Chinese fans for being shameful in swiping tickets. Because of this matter, the media also called on the NBA league to reform the voting method of the team's All-Star team, requiring players and media to have the same voting rights as fans. To put it bluntly, on the one hand, there is an imbalance with such a large fan base of Asian players, and on the other hand, they also want to fish in troubled waters to increase the media's voice in the All-Star voting. It's a pity that the alliance was worried about the big cake of the Chinese market at that time, withstood the pressure and ignored the media's voices.
In this way, the news about the All-Star voting in the major sports media has become a battlefield for Paul fans and Chen Shu fans! Paul's fan remarks: The Suns have a bad record, and Chen Shu led the team to 3 consecutive defeats; Chen Shu's ability is not good, and he makes mistakes one after another on the calf, and the measures are lore; Then he made 1 of 10 shots in the game against the Spurs, which was just miserable. It's really unjust to want to be an All-Star starter at such a level.
But Chen Shu's position is also very clear: the voting rules of the All-Star are to fight for popularity, and Chen Shu's current increase in votes means that he is popular, not to mention surpassing Paul, that is, becoming the All-Star vote king, that is also the ability.
As a result, under the rhythm of the media, the fans on both sides evolved from the original theory of courtesy to the abuse of cordial greetings. Because there are few Chinese fans on American websites, they have the upper hand in the initial scolding war, so Chen Shu fans in the United States are looking for foreign aid, and they find the "Shushen Dadao League" that has a small scale, which organizes many fans to log on to major American sports media websites to support their idols, and the scolding war between Chen Shu and Paul fans has gradually evolved into a scolding war between American fans and Chinese fans.
The battlefield of this scolding war spread all over the major media websites, and it lasted for a long time, until Chen Shu finally noticed the situation and posted updates on his Twitter and Sina Weibo.
"Thank you to all the fans for doing it for me, and thank you all the way! But I hope you don't continue, I will conquer those who are not optimistic about me through my own efforts! Training is ongoing! Try!"
Seeing that their idol released such a news, fans have died down, they believe that Chen Shu's slump in the last game was just an accident, of course, no matter what, they will unconditionally support Chen Shu. They were outraged mainly because American fans seized on Chen's recent performance and described him as worthless. This has made fans a little worried, worried that Chen Shu will be under a lot of pressure, worried that he will lose the trust of the team's management and coaching staff.
But there is no need to worry about this at all, because the management of NBA teams, even if they are mediocre, will not give up on developing a potential rookie because of a slump in a game.
But no matter what, Chen Shu was very moved when he learned that many fans had gone to great lengths to support him, and the news he posted was not a simple perfunctory, but really represented his inner thoughts at that time! In addition to his pursuit of basketball, he now has another reason to work hard, that is, he can't live up to the support of so many fans!
Although the fans did not continue to spray with American fans under Chen Shu's appeal, it was not that they swallowed this breath, but that they turned all their anger into the motivation to vote, and the fans continued to exert efforts on major social media and major websites in China to mobilize more netizens and fans to participate in the All-Star voting.
Just when Chen Shu finished a day's training and washed up, he took a taxi to Arizona State University to meet Xu Xiao, his All-Star votes had reached 1.13 million votes with the efforts of fans, surpassing Paul's 1.05 million votes with an absolute advantage, temporarily ranking second in the Western backcourt, the first place is still Kobe Bryant's 181 play votes, there are still a few days before the end of the All-Star vote, everyone's votes are still rising, but no player's votes can increase more than Chen Shu. Even many Kobe Bryant fans are now a little worried about whether this Chinese Chen will surpass Kobe Bryant with the support of Chinese fans and even win the All-Star vote.
Chen Shu, who didn't pay much attention to this, received a call from an economist in the car.
"Hey Chen, you Chinese fans are crazy!"
"Eh, are you talking about the scolding war between fans on the Internet before?"
"No, no, no, I'm talking about the All-Star vote, you're now the No. 2 in the Western backcourt! Keep it up and you'll be an All-Star starter! How's that, excited? ”
“。。。 It was a bit of a surprise, but it wasn't a lot of excitement, but I'm going to work hard to be worthy of an All-Star starter. ”
"Hey, Chen, there's nothing to be worthy, all-stars fight for popularity, you are popular, you are what everyone expects, don't pay attention to those sour words on the Internet, they are just jealous, uh, by the way, I have something to talk to you about, that is, the broker contract between us needs to be modified, to be honest, I didn't expect that you could reach such a level before, so the previous commercial contract took 20%, and now it seems inappropriate, just change it to 10%, Recently, there are more and more companies looking for your endorsement, especially Chinese companies, I am a little busy, I will screen it first, and then I will discuss with you specifically. ”
Smith seemed very excited, and said a lot at once, but in Chen Shu's opinion, Smith is a good person, although he doesn't have any big-name players under his hands, but he is quite reliable in doing things, and now he knows that he has taken the initiative to reduce the commission of the commercial contract, and Chen Shu is also very satisfied with this. If he didn't take the initiative, Chen Shu really didn't know how to deal with it, after all, Smith was introduced by his coach, and he took the initiative to plead.
Thinking of Carl Williams, Chen Shu realized that he hadn't seen each other for a long time except for a few phone calls with the other party. It seems that he has to take some time to visit, after all, both in college and after the injury, Carl Williams has given him a lot of comfort and help.
